Dear NYT,

re: My the editing of my post #262 (12:04)

Evidently some observations that go out of their way not to be abusive are nevertheless censored for the 'idea' they express. Is this the reason the concluding statement to my post was redacted?

I think you should have included my post's closing paragraph that read:

"Unfortunately, the last time a troubled democracy in the midst of an economic crisis witnessed a Party Ideology with such an unreasonably strong sway over its followers was in 1930s Germany. Then, as now, many party members were inclined to look beyond facts, were intent on silencing any and all opposing voices, and they too were blindly committed to a patriotic 'mission': ready, willing, and able they were bereft of a moral political center. ... Frightful."

Was this really an unfit observation given the discussion at hand?
